Imalume Tracked Down Photo Thieves. Then They Paid $7,000
by Feroz Khan
March 30, 2026
Ever wondered if someone is ripping off your commercial photography and passing it off as their own? Or if someone has stolen an image of yours and is using it without permission? Watermarks are so easily removed by AI tools these days that anyone can steal an image off your website, upscale it so easily and then use it without authorization. There are a handful of sites that can help with tracking such usage already, but the new Imalume website looks like it's the quickest of them all so far.
Canon Has Made Its Most Baffling Decision Yet, and Fujifilm Couldn’t Be Happier
by Nilofer Khan
March 30, 2026
One of the latest camera trends has been simply evident: a retro digital camera for young photographers. While Fujifilm has been banking on this for a while, Canon is one of the companies that have yet to introduce a model to compete with them. Nikon is already in the game with the Zf, and its success only further proved the point. However, despite reports of the possible launch of a Canon retro model, it comes as a shock that the company has other plans. And those plans may really annoy so many photographers.

This has been a very long time in the making, and I'm very excited to finally make this happen.

Minolta has been an instrumental company in the photo industry. Everyone knows them best for their partnership with Sony, but they tend to forget that the company has been around since 1928. Over the years, they have introduced some exceptional cameras and lenses, but this analog model continues to be loved even today: The Minolta P. Have a look.
Sharpness and Clarity Aren’t that Important.
by Chris Gampat
March 30, 2026
The camera brands have consistently told us that their lenses are sharper and sharper over time. But I sometimes really wonder why this matters all that much. Engineers work to create their fetishized version of reality in an image for the purpose to capitalism. I think we can all agree that reality isn't all that great. And with that said, there's good reason to dial back the sharpness.

Pro Photographers: You Need This

Hey pros! Listen up! Our photography insurance program is designed to be there when photographers really need it! We're giving you more than the competition can in different ways! Here's a little-known fact: the warranty of your camera or lens doesn't necessarily cover what happens to it in case of dust, inclement weather, etc. That's why we created the Photography Care Program, in collaboration with Full Frame Insurance. Dust affects your camera and lens performance more than you think, and unless you're constantly cleaning the lens contacts, your autofocus performance could end up pretty wonky. But just in case something happens, you can ensure your camera gear is always covered.
